I learned how to cook with Crisco, as did my mom. It makes a fine pie crust and the best fried chicken.
I’m okay with these 1934 recipes, although “digestible cheese pastry” sounds a little off-putting. Nevertheless , I’d gladly eat all of these 🍽️

It’s 1978. You’re staying at the Red Carpet Inn in Sarasota (by the airport) You’re wondering where to catch dinner. As you’re about to ask at the front desk you see this glorious poster in the lobby and can’t believe your good luck. Samoan Elvis + unlimited shrimp? Yes please!

Kool-Aid (originally Kool-Ade) was invented by some chemist nerd in Kansas in 1927.
The smiling pitcher became the brand image in 1957, but Kool-Aid Man didn’t start busting doors until 1975.
Funny Face (1964-1994) was a knockoff drink mix from Pillsbury that never really caught on

No watch, no problem! Back in the day, you could call a phone number and hear a recording of the current time. Ad from the Holbrook Tribune-News , January 1, 1965. #VintageAds #TimeOfDay #TelephoneService

I think mid-century housewives were guinea pigs for scientists who believed in better living through chemistry. Sure, you might become a zombie but at least you can get your chores done.

I found this 1933 Lux ad featuring Wynne Gibson (the namesake for my new kitten, Winnie) while flipping through Photoplay. Lux launched its U.S. toilet soap in 1925 and became famous for Hollywood endorsements. Today, the Unilever brand is still sold in 100+ countries! #VintageAds #ClassicHollywood

In 1950 the federal minimum wage was 75¢ and the average annual family income was $3,300.
The least expensive 1950 Zenith here is a little tabletop model with a 105 sq inch Giant Circle Screen for $250. That’s about the size of a dinner plate.
